A-Suria kakumbile mavungu eswe kumi a wanangana wa Izalele. Haliapwila Senakeribe, mwanangana wa Suria, yazanga nawa kutambula mavungu aali a wanangana wa Yunda. Iye yaputuka kukumba mbonge ni mbonge ya A-Yunda. Alioze mbonge yize azangile chinji kukumba te Yerusaleme. Chipwe chocho, Senakeribe kakanyingikine ngwo Yehova te kakufunga Yerusaleme.

Hezekia, mwanangana wa mu Yunda, yafweta mbongo jinji kuli Senakeribe hanga awuchike Yerusaleme. Chipwe ngwe, Senakeribe katambwile mbongo, nihindu yatuma maswalele jenyi a ndundo hanga aye ni kunongesa Yerusaleme. Atu mu mbonge yeswe yaputuka kwivwa woma, mumu A-Suria te hakundama ku mbonge. Hachino, Hezekia yaalweza ngwenyi: ‘Kanda nwivwa woma. A-Suria kali ni tachi, alioze Yehova matupwisa akwa-tachi jinji kuhiana ayo.’

Senakeribe yatuma kanganda kenyi, Rabeshaka, hanga alenye atu mu Yerusaleme. Rabeshaka yamana haze lia mbonge yaputuka kukololoka ngwenyi: ‘Yehova kechi kunukwasa. Kanda nwecha Hezekia hanga anwonge. Mumu kukushi zambi niumwe yoze mahasa kunulamwina kuli yetu.’

Hezekia yahula kuli Yehova yize atamba kulinga. Yehova yamukumbulula ngwenyi: ‘Kanda wivwa woma wa yize anambe Rabeshaka. Senakeribe kechi kukumba Yerusaleme.’ Kusulaho, Hezekia yatambula yimwe mikanda ya Senakeribe. Mikanda yacho yambile ngwo: Lihanenu kwenu. Mumu Yehova kechi kunulamwina.’ Hezekia yalemba ngwenyi: ‘Yehova, lisesa, tulamwine hanga atu eswe anyingike ngwo yena wika mwe Zambi wamwenemwene.’ Yehova yamulweza ngwenyi: ‘Mwanangana wa A-Suria kechi kanjila mu Yerusaleme. Mungukafunga mbonge yami.’

Senakeribe kapwile ni shindakenyo ngwenyi te kwasala hakehe hanga akumbe Yerusaleme. Alioze ha umwe ufuku, Yehova yatuma mungelo mu chilombo  cha maswalale A-Suria haze lia mbonge. Mungelo wacho yashiha maswalale eswe! Mwanangana Senakeribe yatokesa maswalale jenyi a tachi. Kakapwile nawa ni chize malinga, chocho yafuna ku zuwo lienyi. Yehova yalamwina Hezekia hamwe ni Yerusaleme, ngwe chize alakenyene. Nyi wapwile mu Yerusaleme, kachi wafuliele muli Yehova?
